News: Polish Prime Minister honors Soldiers on Armed Forces Day

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tust, along with the operational commander of Polish Land Forces, Gen. Bronislaw Kwiatkowski, shakes the hand of a Polish soldier during a ceremony for the Polish Armed Forces Day at Forward Operating Base Ghazni, Afghanistan, Aug. 15. During the ceremony Tust thanked both Polish and U.S. Soldiers for their service, and let them know how proud all Polish citizens were of the soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

"I pay homage for courage, sacrifice and heroism of all polish soldiers, here in Afghanistan," said Tust, addressing the Polish soldiers in a speech.

Tust made sure he emphasized how proud all Polish citizens are of their soldiers serving in Afghanistan. He also paid respect to Capt. Daniel Ambozi&#324;ski, who was killed in Afghanistan a few days prior.

The Prime Minister said, the day of courage for Polish soldiers in history came after a day of mourning for the next hero in polish history.

"Polish soldiers risk their own lives, so future Poles and Polish soldiers will not have to pay this price by Vistula River," said Tust, referring to the famous river that covers half of Poland.
